Wounded Minnow 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 I need a new vise, basically I just tie MASSIVE meaty flies for Musky/Pike. Curious what you guys would get if you were just tying really big flies? Thanks! Wounded Minnow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 You will get lots of different answers to this question, so I will tell you what I use. I have two, Dyna-King Sidewinder, and a Nor-vise. Both have 20+ years of tying on them, and both work fine for me. If your ONLY looking at BIG flies, then it would be hard to beat the DK Sidewinder.

Voodoo 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 i dig the Regal for large 1/0 hooks, it hold them tight and strait. I use a renzetti for every thing smaller then a #6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gillfan51 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 WM, my Danvise will hold anything - and I mean ANYthing! - that I'll ever tie! I can put the tube of my bobbin in there and it clamps down quite nicely. It will also, w/o mods, hold size 14 hooks. As I can't SEE anything smaller than that well enough to tie, I don't worry about whether it will hold smaller ones. :bugeyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimk 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 I also use a Regal for large hooks, no adjusting - just open and close. You can tie on a huge hook and change to a tiny dry fly without adjustment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TitanFlies 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 The Dyna King Tandem vise works well if you are tying articulated flies. If not, you'll be hard pressed to find a better vise than a Dyna King Pro, Supreme, HMH Standard w/ Mag jaws, or a Regal with the Big Game jaws Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyfshn76 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2009 My favorite Big Fly vise is the HMH spartan. I use it for all of my big steamers. Haven't had a hook slip out of it yet. I also like the heaviness of the vise. Warranty is great also.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
